Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

Although Xingji had doubts, she also thought that what the feathered serpent said made some sense. Besides, she was the one who was in charge of the divination, so how could someone have done anything to her?

Blue Liboli hesitated before taking a pale blue crystal ball out of his bag.

This crystal ball was a gift from a fortune teller from Sami when she was on vacation at the Rhodes Island pharmaceutical company. After all, many of the staff stationed on the landship liked fortune telling, but only a few truly understood it.

When it came to gift-giving between like-minded people, Xingji gave the other person a blue crystal bracelet symbolizing good luck.

With that thought in mind, Xingji ignored Holhaya's nagging beside him, placed the crystal ball in front of him, and raised his hands, hovering them above.

As the girl's fingers danced gently, Originium Arts, like twinkling starlight, gradually transformed the aquamarine crystal ball into the deep blue of the night, emitting a captivating, faint glow.

Holhaya stared intently at the glowing crystal ball, finding it magical no matter how many times she looked at it.

Is it really possible for someone to predict the future through Originium Arts?

In the past, astrological readings would yield results quickly, so why has it been so long without any news today?

Before long, Blue Liboli stopped what he was doing, his brows furrowed, and the scene fell silent for a moment.

"What's wrong? Am I wrong?"

"wrong."

Xingji murmured, "I don't know what's going on, I didn't get any results from the divination, the astrological display is a complete mess."

Holhaya asked doubtfully, "What if a low-probability event occurs and the divination fails?"

"No, I could clearly sense that the divination had failed. Just now, it neither succeeded nor failed. This kind of thing..."

Li Boli originally wanted to say that this was the first time it had happened, but a strange thought arose in her mind.

Actually, this isn't the first time it's happened; it happened once a few months ago.

On the day that person died, several fortune tellers gathered together to perform a divination, but the crystal ball they usually used shattered, and no results were obtained at that time.

“I’ve noted down that person’s temporary address. If we just go there like this, the person will definitely run away, so I have a plan…”

Holhaya looked up at Xingji, and Xingji looked back at her. This time, Blue Liboli did not refuse her companion's kindness.

……

the other side.

Mike fled back to his temporary residence.

Unexpectedly, his good luck came to an end. He not only ran into the operators, but also met many close acquaintances. In the game's parlance, they all had their affinity at the maximum of 200. 200 affinity is the upper limit in the game, not his limit.

As seen from the Swire incident, someone had been planning to take him down for a while. They didn't act until now because of the other operators' feelings. But once the interference is gone, they will pounce on him like a hungry tiger.

"You're back so early, what trouble did you run into?"

The Lord of the Goats floated at the doorway of Adele's room, watching Mike drink water with a curious expression.

Anyone could see that this man was in a terrible predicament.

"I've run into some trouble of my own..."

Mike put down his water glass, momentarily unsure how to tell the Lord of the Sheep, even if he did, it might not understand.

Unexpectedly, the Lord of the Sheep nodded solemnly: "I understand, there are too many girls, you can't handle them all."

Mike: "..."

You're so knowledgeable! Do you know the four ways to cook lamb skewers?

Just as the two, one human and one sheep, were staring at each other, the door to the room opened, and Adele, dressed in her underwear, rubbed her sleepy eyes and made a very cute sound.

"senior?"

Did Dolly and I disturb you?

"Absolutely not."

Dolly dashed into Adele's room and quickly grabbed the sheep girl's clothes, draping them over her shoulders.

21. Adele, the Bad Woman

The lamb was weak, looking like a sickly, beautiful girl. When Mike saw the lamb's actions, he reached out to help Adele put on her coat. Unexpectedly, Adele opened her arms and hugged him.

"senior."

Adele buried her face in Mike's chest, hugging him tightly, as if trying to draw warmth from him.

The girl looked half-asleep and might think she was dreaming, so Mike, feeling sorry for her, didn't push her away.

Who could push away the adorable little lamb?

The Lord of the Goats beside him thought to himself, "This is something Adele has wanted to try many times during her journey, and now she finally has the opportunity."

With everyone else out, it was just the two of them in the hotel—a golden opportunity indeed. The doctor probably thought Adele was still half asleep, but in reality, the girl's earlobes were completely red.

My daughter has grown up.

Mike noticed the sheep master's meaningful gaze and was shocked. When did even the little sheep learn such sophisticated strategies?

Adele has a naturally high body temperature and is always worried about getting burned. When will she catch a cold?

It seems he had preconceived notions and unwittingly fell into the trap.

Rather than...

Let's turn the tables on them.

Mike looked away, gently stroked the lamb's long hair, and whispered, "Adele, shouldn't you be awake by now?"

This is a reminder.

Sure enough, the lamb looked up as if it had just woken up, and its eyes met the man's. As if it had been electrocuted, it couldn't help but lower its head again.

We've been...discovered?

The girl murmured, "Actually, I want to sleep a little longer."

How could such a simple plan possibly fool this man?

From beginning to end, she took advantage of the Doctor's kindness and concern for the operators. She is truly a sinful woman.

Mike chuckled inwardly. The little lamb wanted it but was also worried about hurting him. Only such an innocent child could attract the attention of the Sheep Lord.

"It's okay, I know everything."

Mike hugged Adele tightly, even if only for a brief moment.

Less than two minutes later, Chongyue's gentle voice came from downstairs at the hotel: "Miss Destreet, this is our temporary accommodation. We are still too young to make any preparations for your arrival."

The elder brother's voice wasn't loud, but it quickly penetrated most of the hotel's space; the simple wooden door offered no soundproofing whatsoever.

Hearing the noise, Mike and Adele, who were embracing, quickly separated, like a pair of cats caught stealing fish.

They did nothing, yet it seemed like they did everything.

The two of them laughed at the same time.

Adele bit her lower lip, gently put on her coat, straightened her collar, looked at the man opposite her, and asked softly, "Was it like this with Dr. Kal'tsit when you were on Rhodes Island, senior?"

Mike was taken aback. How did the little sheep know about his relationship with Kal'tsit?

"Dr. Kal'tsit and I have a normal working relationship. Nothing has happened between us. Don't believe those rumors."

"That's right, I understand."

Adele was about to go back to her room to prepare when Mike, who was a little confused, realized something had happened downstairs and he had to step in.

The lamb closed the door, leaned against it, hugged its arms tightly, and stared blankly into space.

Who among the Rhodes Island operators doesn't know about the Doctor and Dr. Kal'tsit's affair?

It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see. At most, we can help keep it from Amiya, but how much we can hide is something only the parties involved truly know.

"Adele, are you alright?"

The Lord of the Sheep floated down in front of the little lamb and looked at her with concern.

The lamb shook its head: "I'm fine."

The PhD student is still the same as before, not very good at saying no to others.

She's already lost it once, does she have to lose it a second time?

Adele, you have to keep it up!

……

On the other side, Mike stepped onto the wooden stairs, the heels of his boots making a crisp sound as they struck the floorboards. He immediately spotted Chongyue and Destreet sitting on the sofa in the hall.

Destreet, a top lawyer at a renowned law firm in the Grand Knights, codenamed Dante.

But the book's connection with Rhodes Island occurred in the year the Radiant Knights returned and won the Knights Tournament. She helped the Red Pine Forest Knights win a case that seemed almost impossible to win, forcing the plaintiff to become the defendant, the victim to the trial bench, and finally reaching an out-of-court settlement.

At that time, Flametail Knight Sona asked why they didn't continue to press their advantage. Destle tactfully told her that the defendant's evidence was insufficient, and if time passed and the other party realized what was happening, the advantage they had gained would be lost. It would be better to take the opportunity to ask for compensation.

It's worth mentioning that this lawsuit earned Destle the badge of a top lawyer, making her famous overnight. More and more individuals and organizations wanted to hire her to represent them. However, the top lawyer took the opportunity to retire at the height of her career and went on vacation to Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals, where she stayed for several months.

As Mike walked down the stairs, he was also quickly calculating in his mind. He was trembling with fear in the Great Knights' territory and dared not make a sound. Who could find their whereabouts?

So how did Destle find her way here?

"You came?"

Chongyue noticed Mike's arrival and took the initiative to get up and sit on the other side, opposite Destreet, giving him his previous seat.

Brother, honestly, there's no need for this.

Mike muttered a curse to himself.

"Hello, Miss Destreet, I didn't expect it to really be you."

"You know me?"

Desty flashed a professional smile, took a business card from her handbag, and handed it to Mike.

Mike took it and said with a smile, "In the Great Knight Territory, there are very few people who don't know about the top lawyer."

"But in this mobile city, not many people remember me."

Descartes deliberately left at the height of her fame to cool things down.
